Lawson releases Quickstep Manufacturing software

Lawson Software has introduced Lawson Quickstep Manufacturing, a preconfigured enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package designed to help manufacturers achieve faster business results.

The application offers the ability to manage a diverse range of products and supports a variety of product delivery and supply methods.

Quickstep Manufacturing combines manufacturing-specific content with built-in business best practices based on Lawson's knowledge of the manufacturing industry and implementation methodology.

The company said the package will help reduce the time, cost and risks typically associated with an ERP software implementation by pre-configuring 70 per cent to 90 per cent of manufacturing business processes within the Lawson system.

As a result, Quickstep Manufacturing provides a deployment model for process, discrete and mixed-mode manufacturers that create complex products based on custom orders or through mass production.

Quickstep Manufacturing is designed to help manufacturers reduce ERP system installation time by up to 50 per cent.

In addition to its pre-configured business processes, the software package also includes e-learning tools and documented business processes to help manufacturers speed employee training.

Quickstep helps customers address many manufacturing-specific business challenges including: aggregation and visibility of production data; management of complex and expanding product lines; visibility of the entire order chain; and implementation of lean manufacturing principles.
